Kwanzaa was created in 1966 to bring the African community and culture together.  Kwanzaa combined African customs and beliefs to create the holiday, that means “first fruits,” in Swahili.

Dancing, telling stories, singing songs

Each day a candle is lit on the Kinara and the principle of the day is discussed.

The holiday is also represented by seven symbols: Mazoa (the crops), Mkeka (the placemat), Vibunzi (the ear of corn), Mishumaa Saba (the Seven Candles), Kinara (the candleholder), Kikombe Cha Umoja (the unity cup), and Zawadi (gifts).

Kwanzaa is a festival based on a variety of Afrikan traditions and culture that celebrate and represents the family as a unit and the community as a whole.

The word Kwanzaa is derived from the Kiswahili Matunda Ya Kwanzaa meaning ‘the celebration of the first fruits’.

The concept is to celebrate Afrikan racial and cultural pride and self- affirmation based on Afrikan values and belief systems and is observed for seven days between December 26th to January 1st.

Although Kwanzaa is very close to Christmas it is not a substitute nor is it the equivalent of Christmas

It is celebrated at this time because it coincides with the reaping of crops and harvest celebration in Afrika

There are seven principles known as the Nguzosaba that are associated with Kwanzaa.

December 26th
Umoja - Unity
December 27th
Kujichagulia - Self-determination
December 28th
Ujimmaa - Collective work and responsibility
December 29th
Ujammaa - Co-operative Economics
December 30th
Nia - Purpose
December 31st
Kuumba - Creativity
January 1st
Imani - Faith

Kwanzaa is important  because it reaffirms my identity, culture and heritage as an Afrikan person residing abroad

It is also important because it allows the family and community to come together, which symbolises oneness, togetherness and unity – the foundation of nationhood.

Kwanzaa is a significant event in our calendar because it affords the opportunity for the Afrikan community to celebrate an occasion that is poignant to our cultural heritage, value and belief system.

Happy Kwanzaa
